Shrinkin' Violets Part 3 Read HERE!
You guys are so wonderful I cried when I opened the thread, and i'm at work and not girly here so i better suck it up before a guy walks in! Terry - Tracy is right, you are a good woman and mom and just breathe. I always tell my mom to work with me and not tell me what to do and it makes it so much easier for me to deal with things. That is a child's side. As for the bi-polar part, stay strong i guess, Kev's brain injury and now bi-polar and I have delt with him and it has not been easy, hence the rest of the story of my life...LOL I'm not going there, this is a new year and i'm claiming everything i've work for and want out of life! MINE I told new guy slow and steady and he seems to be ok with it but then says we will have to address that some day... I LIKE MY girls too much, my friends, my annual trips with my violet girls, my guys (friends) I hang with at the pub. They have all been a big part of my life and i'm not walking away from who I am for any guy! wow, what has gotten into me???? LOL LOVE YOU ALL!!! going to buy some new jeans this weekend to celebrate my success

Good morning gals Michelle - i'm sorry about your cat, that is very sad and a very hard decision to have to make I'm so excited this morning, I got up and jumped on the scale like i do every morning and BAM (heheheh) it says 197.... not the 198 i would have been happy with... and i'm happy enough and then i'm in the shower thinking and guess what... not only have i love 8lbs since i got home (and that does not include what i gained from fluid) but I am officially at -100lbs today:woot: It has been a long 2 years but I have lost 100lbs - brings tears to my eyes to even think about it I think i'm going to Celebrate with some h&ch Soup today. Hope you all have a good day, I'm going to log on at some point at work. Thanks all for your support and motivation to pick my ass up and kick it, this last 6 months was almost harder than the initial first year. love ya all

I made pot #3 of h&ch soup used boiled ham and 2% cheese and low fat s/c. and of course had to add cyanne because that sounded good. This was so much better, not as salty. Mom and DD are both addicted to it as well so i've had to share and it goes quick, i have 2 cups a day anyway, i'm really off to bed

LOL and... you got extra saltines:wink_smile: how is everyone's night Jane... 9lbs... conrats! i'm off to take a pain pill, i'm not going tonight without, i felt horrible every time i moved last night

Terry you are freaking hystercal tonight I'm having a good stiff black cherry vodka and rasp ice crystal light only took 2 tylenol today and i'm not taking anything tonight i'm tired and cranky and tired of the house being a complete mess from the kitchen! mom is going to be gone for 2 weeks, i'm cleaning 1 more time and will prove a point when she gets back, she blames the mess on me and hello, i'm the only one picking up after myself, breathe. I have 2 weeks to get it together and the kitchen back together and the downstairs cleaned up all the way well, i told nice guy i like him but i have always kept 2 seperate lives, and not that i don't want to incorporate them, but i jus need alone time too and he was very good with taking it slow and being my friend. it went well so.... i'm heading to bed on that happy note, oh.. when my cup is empty have a great night

I don't know if i'm quite ready for pumpkin soup but i'm interested I'm making another pot of ham and cheese because i know i can deal with that Terry - yes I'm very serious, i'm getting house happy. They are letting me pick them up in an ice storm tomorrow, how nice but i wanted to leave from home, so i'm hanging out waiting for Chris to come back to see what his plan is for the car, i'd rather take it home and go right to train station but at this point, i'm getting paid so who cares!

Hi guys quick check in... i don't know what to do.... i'm not allwoed out of the trailer and now i'm being asked how i am going to the train station if i can't drive... I asked if they called my DR????? I have my post op visit on the 13th so hopefully will get a clear to be free except for lifting. They are killing me! I feel like just staying home tomorrow because they won't let me breathe.... although they did let me walk across the parking lot to use my port o pot, which i am shocked they didn't bring closer! how frustrating, and if i didn't work, i wouldn't get any pay, I can't do that either and as of right now i'm only going to have 16-20 hrs this week right back to the beginning

I am not ready for this, no matter who it is i'm having a panic attack and don't know how to nicely say i like you but i need lots of space. i told him that i'm still semi invlved with kev and that he has been a big part of my life for 17 years so i'm looking to take things one day at a time, just didn't expect it to be every day breathe.... he has told his dd about me, his mother, his entire family and is talking to my best friend about us.... 2 hr ride and a diner..
